Neabot Q11 Robot Vacuum - Full Review 

I love the large number of videos you’ve been releasing! Just don’t burn yourself out! :)

Finally. Been waiting on your review forever on this robot. I was just browsing through RU-vid and instantly clicked on this when I saw the title. One hiccup I have with my Q11 is it doesn't auto-empty most of the time, I have to manually do it in the app. It's updated to the latest firmware and still doesn't auto empty most of the time. It just auto empties whenever it feels like it. "and sometimes it would just sit there and stay in a room with a label called Dormancy"--yup happened to me a few times in this one corner of my home to the point where I just created a "no-go" zone for that corner. "They fixed all of the bugs"--no, they have not. Dormancy is still an issue and the auto-empty issue is not also fixed. Also: 6:07 I think it didn't go through the chair because of the ramp going to your kitchen COMBINED with the objects it saw around it made the robot think it couldn't make it.

I believe the reason why the Q11 decided not to go through that chair in the navigation challenge was that there was a threshold and the LiDAR sensors thought it was an obstacle. Maybe it also got overwhelmed by the many obstacles so it refused to travel through, which could be why it was able to go through without the chair maybe.

So far this robot is excellent in my two bedroom apartment with all hard floors. The big issue I have with it is the Iphone app. I'm a blind person and can't read print, IOS has a built in screen reader called Voiceover that makes the touch screen accessible. Actually, Android provides something similar called Talkback. Before I talk about the issues with the app, let me explain briefly how Voiceover works. When Voiceover is enabled, you can touch anywhere on the screen and the phone will speak the item. You can also swipe one finger left and right and this will move through the items on the screen. To activate the item that was last spoken, you double tap anywhere on the screen. There are lots of other gestures but these are enough to get started. Now for the app issues. I'm not sure if the developers of this app used all nonstandard controls, but even from the first screen there are problems. To create the account you have to tap on "register." But Voiceover does not see "Register" as a separate item, it says "Don't have an account yet? Register" as a single item so double tapping it does not work, so I had to get sighted help to create my account. I was able to connect the robot to my network myself but then you really start seeing the accessibility issues with this app. When you swipe on the screen, many items are completely unlabeled. Voiceover will attempt to describe an unlabeled item but this doesn't always work. When updating the firmware, Voiceover saw this whole screen as one item instead of three. The text about what will happen is one item, the cancel option should have been the second item and the confirm option should have been the last item on this screen. I was able to update the firmware myself by turning Voiceover off and tapping on the screen where I thought the confirm option would be, towards the bottom right. Fortunately I tapped in the right place. To change the water level or suction power is completely impossible without sighted help. Voiceover sees the water level and suction options all as a single item and double tapping it doesn't work at all. Fortunately once this is set it remains that way unless it is changed and double tapping the "start cleaning" item does work, which is mostly what I will use. I can also read the battery level. Out of all the robot apps I have tried, this one is by far the worst when it comes to accessibility. I don't have an android device so I can't test the app on that platform. I did email Neabot to mention these issues but so far I have not heard back from them. Of course, I can't divide rooms or do any map changes in any of the apps, since that requires drawing on the screen, there is no real way for a screen reader to read that and I understand that. But I have absolutely no problem changing settings in the Roborock or Irobot apps. The Ecovacs app also has some accessibility issues, I'm going to play with that app more before I will consider adding an Ecovacs bot to my collection. The Mii home app which is used for the Dreametech bots also is very accessible. I've installed the Eufy Home app and that also works very well. Had I known the accessibility issues that the Neabot app has, I probably would not have bought it but moving forward I will absolutely make sure a bot's app is accessible before I consider buying it.

2/13/2022 Last year you would hands down say to purchase the Neabot NoMo N1 robot vacuum, which is no longer sold. They have the N1 plus. Now that you have reviewed the Q11, which would be better from the Neabot line of N1 Plus, N2 or Q11? And of all the robot vacuums you have reviewed or researched, which one would you buy today if you had only tile or vinyl plank flooring? I have no carpeting, just some bathroom mats. I also don't have any pets.

Nice video! I remember last you commented about using the q11 as your daily driver. Is that still true, or are you using the dream z10 instead? Also I'm curious if you can swap the main brush between the dream and q11.

I have been thinking about getting this so I am glad you have the review out and what robot vacuums do you have?

Hello Mr Roombato, could you give me a little advise ? I'm looking for a robot that could clean with suction and water, only on floor tiles. My price range is around 400 euros, can you help me on that ?

Same exact dust bin and mop as my Ihome Nova. These must be designed around universal parts. Also the Pascal numbers they claim means nothing. Edit it has the same exact app as the IHome Auto Vac Nova also

Hi. I’m curious if you can program this to not return to the base and run the jet engine. I would love to run this at night as you do, but the noise from the base would scare the crap out of me if I were sleeping.

How do we link Neabot vacuum with Alexa ??

Spelling of 'review' in title...

This robot is the worst experience among other robots. They also have the worst service, they didn't want to change a broken robot. After 2 weeks of correspondence, I was able to send it to them. They did not return the money and stopped responding to my mail.
